we all remember election night. but your film showed us he didn't prepare at all for the possibility he wouldn't win. he knocked out his concession speech on his own ipad there. you can see him reading a draft of the stage before taking to the stage. here he is. >> this is a great time of challenge for the nation. no one's listening. >> what's going on. >> we're writing a concession speech. >> i'm sure she's stunned by the whole development? what's he doing here? he's writing his concession speech. i remember covering it that night with rachel, i'm sitting there watching, okay, here is virginia too close to call. too close to call, that must mean that ohio is going to go for obama, that's when i figured out obama won. he did it the same way, he looked at florida by 500 votes. we ain't got any chance of winning ohio. it's interesting how we try to figure things he doesn't cry, which i've seen politicians do when they lose the big ones, nothing wrong with that, they just lost the big one. his reaction was so calm it w

that it was long before election day. that leads up to the minds of the voters of new jersey to decide if september 11th is a long, long time before november 5th, first of all. and i think it will provide democrats, mr. greenwald can speak to this, plenty of questions to ask both the governor staff and potentially him eventually about whether they really didn't speak of any of this. because it wasn't just wildstein. it's also bill baroni who was helping manage this situation, who was also there with him that morning. >> let me go back to the assembly, the majority leader. mr. greenwald, it seems every person's name that has come up in this, starting with wildstein and baroni and kelly and stepien, everybody who has really been nabbed here is part of this little cabal that closed the bridges down, knew about it and enjoyed what was going on, was totally with it. no appointee of the governor ever raised their hands, his or her hands and said this isn't what our governor wants done here. there is no evidence at all, mr. gree
